When challenges emerge that demand international cooperation, what is the facilitating or constraining role of public opinion in states’ ability for joint action? Which factors, under what conditions, influence citizens’ attitudes? Can governments or issue activists meaningfully change public opinion about crucial issues? Human society faces a number of major challenges to its environmental, economic, and political wellbeing that are not contained by international borders and may require international cooperation for effective action. Developing and testing new theory, this project aims to address these under-explored issues of the role of opinion in multinational cooperation, and the degree to which opinion is an independent agenda setter.

当出现需要国际合作的挑战时，公众舆论在国家联合行动能力方面的促进或限制作用是什么？哪些因素在什么条件下影响公民的态度？政府或问题活动家能否有意义地改变公众对关键问题的看法？人类社会在环境、经济和政治福祉方面面临着许多重大挑战，这些挑战不受国际边界的限制，可能需要国际合作才能采取有效行动。开发和测试新的理论，这个项目的目的是解决这些未充分探讨的问题，意见在多国合作中的作用，以及意见在多大程度上是一个独立的议程制定者。
